Crown of the Alchemist is a six-book series by author B.G. Lyrax, touching on the wonders (and horrors) of science and alchemy in a world where magic has been all but lost. With ancient philosophy and theologies sitting at the core of what makes COTA special, this action-packed romance/fantasy series has a little something for everyone.

After the sudden disappearance of magic and wizardry, alchemy rose to grant power to the everyman. Philosopher kings now reign on thrones of glass, for he who controls the access to knowledge controls the world.

Tensions rise as those who still cling to remnants of the old world are met by the destructive backlashes of alchemical development, and a long-lost kingdom must reveal their ancient truths in order to save the realm they call home.

As the alchemist Gihon Marleogne is tasked with restoring peace to the forgotten lands, he finds himself caught in a whirlwind of cruel betrayal, fiery passion, and haunting memories that are better left suppressed.

When the fate of the world is at stake, can one man keep his heart chained long enough to free those who matter most?
